the gas company should be able to tell you what previous tenants have paid... especially in the summer months when the heat isn't on vs when the heat is on.
You also could get put on a budget wher you pay a set amount every month.
I'd also check with the landlord to see if you are paying to heat the common areas of the building you are in... It's usually split between the tenants, but who knows.... Generally that's written into the lease that you are - but unless you read the fine print -- you might have unwitingly agreed to it.
